Alexander gets massive rework for DVD

alexanderposter3.jpgSo Alexander was rubbish, I think it’s quite clear that most people felt like that and voiced their opinions on the site.

However, it looks like it might just get a second chance on DVD. Oliver Stone has drastically recut and reworked the original movie, from DVD Times:

On DVD Oliver Stone presents a breathtaking new cut of his sweeping epic film, ALEXANDER, the true story of the world’s greatest warrior. Using footage never seen in theaters and dramatically reshaping dozens of scenes…

…The dramatically original DIRECTOR’S CUT re-imagines and re-shapes the original theatrical film with virtually hundreds of edits and re-configurations of sequences, in exactly the kind of vigorous creative action that stands as a trademark of this endlessly inventive director. As Stone says, “We shot a mountain of rich material on ALEXANDER. The first cut was accomplished in 7 months, this second cut in 10 months. Each represents a different approach to a very tall mountain.”

Definitely sounds interesting, and I think it could save his movie in history. Obviously we’ll have to wait until the DVD comes out, but it looks very promising. However, in an annoying move the Directors Cut is released with only an Audio Commentary, all the additional extras are on the normal theatrical release, suggesting that you buy both. Damn those marketing people!
